Cracking the Code to Confidence and Self-Discovery with Enneagram Powerhouse Ali Dunn In this episode, I am speaking with my friend, Ali Dunn, a Bay Area certified Enneagram practitioner, speaker, and leadership coach for ambitious female professionals and entrepreneurs. We discuss Ali’s professional path from sales to business coaching and how the Enneagram is a tool for communication barriers, relationships, identifying your purpose, and a way to empower self-trust.  Ali illustrates how the Enneagram is a tool for communication barriers, relationships, identifying your purpose, and a way to empower self-trust. Then, Ali dives into each of the nine Enneagram types, (including my own!), their subtypes and wings, and how they show up in our daily life. Plus, Ali shares how the Enneagram helped her attune to her life’s purpose, and invites anyone listening to challenge society’s status quo and focus on living a life authentic to you.
